Am excited about the anticipation of launching my private boxing studio for Empowered but I know it's going to freak out a whack of people. So to those who signed up for my free BoxHIIT in the Park but so carelessly were a no show, sorry, but you're not going to be able to afford me soon nor will I have time for you. You should have taken me up on the free training while you had a chance.
Does that sound cocky? Yes. Am I cocky, not at all but I am confident and I'm confident in my worth.
I know I'm worth a hell of a lot more than coaching for free.
I sat down and wrote a list the other week and it was interesting to note where my boxing has taken me and the international experiences it's given me. I've boxed in 6 different countries, trained at 20 different boxing clubs and have been coached by 34 boxing coaches. And that's me as a fighter. As a coach, I'm coached in 3 different countries and in 7 different boxing clubs, one of which was a boxing club I made.
Boxing became my life a long time before I even knew it and I have Egerton Marcus, Olympian Silver Medalist to thank. He was my first boxing coach and it was with him coaching me that I really fell in love with the sport. To me, at the start, it was simply a means of defending myself, a means of gaining confidence so that I can stand up for myself. Then it became a way to change my body. It was a source of friends and a means of becoming a part of a community when I moved to Korea. Boxing evolved into a means of travel when I turned professional and then it became my career when the success of my small company blew up. Now it's what roots me here in the Philippines, has once again rooted me in the community and has become a means of me making my own roots via starting my next company.
Nothing in my life has ever done for me what boxing has. Boxing has given my life life.
